Died at Bay City, Mich., March 20, 1908, of heart-disease, after an illness of only about ten days, Mrs. Fannie Nelson Pearce. The interment took place on Wednesday, April 1, 1908 at Elmlawn Cemetery, Elders A. R. Sandborn and J. G. Lamson officiating. Fannie Nelson was born near Alma, Gratiot Co., Mich., Oct. 19, 1868. When nine years of age, she moved with her parents to Cedar Lake, where the father had large lumber interests. She married Mr. A. E. Pearce Jan. 20, 1891, and a short time later the young people moved to Bay City, which has since been their home. To this union were born four children, who with
the father are now bereaved. Very early in life, trained by God-fearing parents, Sister Fannie found her Saviour, and joined the Adventist church at Cedar Lake, later joining the church at West Bay City. The quiet excellence of her daily life leaves an example well worthy of imitation. She was faithful to the last.
